Hi Jonathan. I believe my view of things is “catalytic” to yours. I will illustrate what I mean with a little story. Here it is. A very old man, burdened by years and discouraged by his life, stumbled one day into a Zen Master. “Master” said the man in desperation… “please tell me how to find my True Self, for I have failed miserably time and time again”. “Ah”… replied the Master in great sympathy…”that is because the True Self cannot be found”. “You must learn how to let it find you.

Ciao Jonathan. John Duffield
